opentype's post in Is it possible to move the block positions? was marked as the answerYou can’t change the default block position this way. Those are containers with templates executed within them. Moving the containers couldn’t do anything to stuff inside them.
But if you create what you need in those slots as a Pages block, you can then inject it at any place you want in the theme templates.
{block="your-block-key"}

opentype's post in Why are my meta titles way too long? was marked as the answerI like it the way it is. It provides context which is great for SEO and people’s understanding of the content. Take this Google search result from one of my sites:
The title “LUBR” wouldn’t make any sense at all. But the forum title makes it clear that this is a font identification request in relation to “LUBR” and the site title makes it clear that this is a search result from a typography website. And if you know that site already, seeing that brand in the title will increase the chance of clicking that link. Everything works together perfectly.
Sure, the title can get long this way and might be cut off, but I would still say that overall, the benefits outweigh potential downsides.

-
opentype's post in configure styles to be removed or preserved in the posts feed? was marked as the answerIt kills all HTML (styling), because the text field needs to be cut somewhere and that won’t work if the the HTML isn’t removed first. So you can’t preserve the custom font styling there.
But you could probably solve your issue globally by defining a proper font stack for your entire website, where the browser falls back to your Tolkien font automatically. You just need to define it globally and make sure that no other font containing these “private use area” character is called first.

-
opentype's post in Not Sharing on facebook was marked as the answerYeah, look at the same page after logging out. It will probably show the “Sorry, no permission” message.
Which by the way, does not mean you cannot share that link. It just means that Facebook cannot retrieve any useful information from the link and picks up the error message instead.

opentype's post in Setting up a new page in Pages was marked as the answerOutgoing database links come from a theme template called “basicRelationship”. Incoming links are defined in the display template assign to the database. So, that would be the most straightforward way to change the comma-separated lists to something else.
Of course you can also do it all manually and load the records that are saved in the database relationship field—provided you are building a custom template that is not meant for multiple databases.

opentype's post in Subscriptions: Automatic Renewals was marked as the answerFirst, we need to be clear about words. Auto-renewal is just the process of starting subscription term after subscription term by issuing a new invoice unless the subscription is cancelled. That is true for all IPS subscriptions. There is no way to turn that off.
Auto-charging is linked to the payment method. For Stripe, the card details can be saved and Stripe will then charge the cards, for PayPal there is the option of activating Billing Agreements, which does the same. If those options aren’t forced or not chosen by the user, then just an invoice will be created and the users have to manually pay for the next term. They have a certain amount of time for that around the date of the expiration. So, you will not always see the option to renew.
